Afghanistan since 9/11
Listen 00:48:45Guest: Christina Lamb
How has Afghanistan changed since the attacks of September 11th? In the fifteen years since 9/11, the US has led a sustained military presence in the country that has been at war for centuries, and a new terror organization has manifested, ISIS. Journalist CHRISTINA LAMB has covered Afghanistan since 1988 when Russian forces were attempting to occupy their country. Her book, Farewell Kabul is a thorough examination of how the nation was changed by September 11th, and how the US-led invasion continues to shape it today. Lamb is also the co-author of the bestselling I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by The Taliban.
